Home Run Hitter Vegges Out Full Time

From New York Post

Care for a “princely feast” of suckling pig, Cornish game hen, and filet
mignon? Not if you’re Prince Fielder, the All Star home-run hitter with the
Milwaukee Brewers, who hit more than .300 with 22 home runs, and knocked out
78 runs in the first half of the Major League Baseball season last year.
He’ll have asparagus with rice and beans, thank you very much!

The 6-foot, 270-pound first baseman is a strict ethical
vegetarian—converted after his wife shared Rory Freedman and Kim Barnouin’s
bestselling book “Skinny Bitch” with him. After reading about the
mistreatment of animals in industrial hog and cow farms, the kindly Prince
shed a tear and vowed never again to eat the flesh of caged animals.

When the news first broke the Prince’s fans held their breath, wondering
if his bean and brussel sprouts diet would sap his strength, and whether his
wife giving him “Skinny Bitch” was like Delilah cutting off of Samson’s
hair. But luckily for the fans, the Brewers, and the game itself, the Prince
has pulled a Popeye and keeps driving it out of the park on a regular basis.

This past July the first baseman cleaned up at the Home Run Derby warm-up
before the All-Star Game in St. Louis—and won the competition, besting
hometown favorite Albert Pujols of the Cardinals.

Wouldn’t you like to know what his wife is putting in that magic spinach!
And wouldn’t his competition like to know as well. Maybe instead of that
pre-game burger the other sluggers might want to spend a little more time at
the salad bar and see if they can get a green recharge to kick-sprout their
batting average.
